I had my pre op visit with the surgeon's P.A. today and he told me to expect that band to sleeve patients lose less than if you ust had the sleeve the first time. I am upset about this and not sure if what he said is true. Anyone ever heard this before? I am wondering if maybe I should change to RNY instead.

No carbs is a big key to success with the sleeve. I am now on 60g of protein a day - all lean protein - chicken, fish, tunafish - some low fat no fat cottage cheese. No yogurt even if it's greek. Vegetables are secondary - I have a few with dinner. No pasta, bread, rice. I also get at least 2 miles on the treadmill 5 days a week. The scale is moving once again!

I'm hoping when I go from band to sleeve that I'll be too full from the protein to have room for anything else

They have told me that I am eating too few calories. I am exercising, getting my protein in, eating 30-35 carbs. I am averaging about 650 or so calories per day. I am not getting all my water every day

I didn't think I was eating too many carbs until I started putting everything in My Fitness Pal. I have an egg for breakfast, 1/8 cup of nuts for a snack with a few pieces of beef jerky, packet of tuna for lunch, protein shake for afternoon snack. Dinner is usually what ever the family is having just in a smaller portion. I usually do not to eat any bread, pasta or rice. I was surprised to find out how many foods I thought were high in protein also had quite a few carbs in them. They seem to add up quickly. I try to stay away from sweets, but allow myself a small sweet item in the evening. I feel that my sleeve is too large. I can eat more than I thought I could. I guess I'm use to only eating a few bites with the band and then feeling "stuck".
